According to a report from 'Coluna do Fla', Flamengo's players would be uncomfortable with Sampaoli's stance, especially when it comes to the team's lineups. The coach does not follow consistent standards to organize the team in games, which has caused problems. For 37 matches, since taking charge of the squad, the Argentine has not repeated the lineup.


The case of Sampaoli's 'inconsistency' in the last match for the Brasileirão, against Athletico-PR, left the athletes especially angry. The match, valid for the 23rd round of the Championship, was last Wednesday (13) and ended with a disgraceful result. Fla played very poorly and ended without finding the net once, but conceded 3 goals.


Before the clash, the coach had a long period to prepare the team. Due to the September FIFA Date, Mengão spent 10 days without playing before facing Athletico. In the six days of training at CT Ninho do Urubu, Sampaoli did not define a concise lineup and ended up deciding on a different squad from the one he trained.


On that occasion, the Argentine sent the following starting team to the field at the Kleber Andrade Stadium, in Cariacica: Matheus Cunha; Fabrício Bruno, David Luiz and Léo Pereira; Wesley, Thiago Maia, Gerson, Victor Hugo and Everton Cebolinha; Gabigol and Pedro. And this was not the team that took to the field last Sunday (17) to lose to São Paulo, in the final of the Copa do Brasil.

Amidst the chaos behind the scenes, Flamengo is preparing for its next match, in which it will face Goiás, in the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match takes place at 7pm (Brasília time) at the Hailé Pinheiro Stadium, in Goiânia. Flamengo trained at Ninho this Tuesday (19) for the match.

Still unsure whether they will have Lucas Paquetá until the end of the season , West Ham won their first victory in the Premier League this Sunday (31) . In the third round of the competition, the team beat Nottingham Forest away from home 3-0, in a match marked by efficiency in the final minutes.


OPPONENT DOMINATION, WEST HAM EFFICIENCY


Despite the heavy score, West Ham struggled again. Controlled by Nottingham Forest for much of the match, the London team benefited from their rival's inability to finish plays . When they had the opportunity, they were decisive.


All three goals came in the final six minutes. Bowen opened the scoring, and the home side completely lost their way. Lucas Paquetá then doubled the lead with a penalty , and Callum Wilson sealed the victory, securing the Hammers' first win of the season.

PAQUETÁ MARKS AND SENDS A MESSAGE IN THE CELEBRATION


During the celebration, Paquetá made a gesture of connection with his hand and then feigned a refusal. He then kissed the West Ham crest. This gesture was interpreted as a response to rumors of a possible transfer to Aston Villa , a club that had expressed interest in the Brazilian.

HOW MUCH WILL FLAMENGO PROFIT FROM THE SALE?

Having nurtured the player in its youth academy, Flamengo is entitled to approximately 4% of the total value of each international transfer for Paquetá . Based on the £47 million offer, the Rio de Janeiro club stands to receive approximately £1.88 million (R$13.8 million) at the current exchange rate.

He continues to perform specific activities at Ninho do Urubu and will be re-evaluated this Saturday, in the final training session led by Filipe Luís before the match.
